IMO 2020 Part I

In January 2020, the global ship bunker fuel specification changed from a maximum of 3.5 weight percentage (wt%) sulfur to maximum 0.5 wt%. The shift affects approximately four million barrels per day of oil consumption or 4% of global oil demand.

HSS Removal in the TGTU

Heat stable salts are an ever present problem in refinery gas treating applications. This brief video details a case study looking at performance issues in a Sulphur Recovery Unit’s amine based tail gas treating unit after reclaiming the solvent. By using the ProTreat® mass transfer ...

Standard recycle flowsheet

This case demonstrates the simulation of a standard, single-recycle, gas treating plant and shows speedy convergence and the ready availability of temperature and composition profiles to aid the interpretation of results.

Treating with a split flow configuration

Split flow processing is a more optimal, energy efficient approach to gas treating than a single recycle loop flowsheet.   This video is a demonstration of a split flow gas treating arrangement using a DEA solvent.

Sour water stripping

This short video demonstrates how ProTreat can be used to simulate a sour water stripper.  Caustic soda injection is used to help spring ammonia from its combined form with the heat stable salt, formate. This is a 100% mass transfer rate based calculation.
